PHOTOGRAPHY ADVENTURES
2025–2026 Photography Workshops & Tours
IMMERSIVE, CREATIVE, BEYOND-THE-BEATEN-PATH PHOTOGRAPHY ADVENTURES!
Sharpen your skills and expand your creative vision on one of our photography workshops, or as we call them, Photography Adventures!
Find inspiration and focus on your photography in a place where everything is new to your eyes, you’re free from distractions, and among a small group of passionate photographers.
Our carefully crafted itineraries include the best of the must-see’s, but we veer off the tourist trail early and often to capture more authentic visions of local life.
“I have been on a lot of photo trips with other groups but my last two major trips have been with Art of Seeing and they have been outstanding and I have learned more than all the others combined...in fact I have booked 3 more trips with them...if you’re serious about your trips and photography you need to check them out...LOL this is not a paid commercial but just the truth..”
